December is usually not that great for me. From Thanksgiving until March, my mood is generally cloudy. Thanks, SAD. So seeing me with a smile on my face and my mood up going into the end of this year is a rarity. It’s so out of character for those who know me personally.
After I published Every Day I Pause last year, I became familiar with Poets & Writers. This organization was founded in 1970 and is an awesome resource for writers, publishers, and agents. Their mission is to foster the professional development of poets and writers, to promote communication throughout the literary community, and to help create an environment in which literature can be appreciated by the widest possible public. I made it one of my goals to become listed as a poet with their non-profit. I’m thrilled that I was able to fulfill that objective within a year! Click here to view my profile.
Their requirements to make that happen pushed me out of my comfort zone. But it also gave me continued satisfaction to reach the milestones necessary to become listed as a writer and poet in their directory. Achieving the requirements and now the reward – well, it makes me burst with joy! I’m very happy to be able to be a part of their organization.
You deserve this wonderful recognition!!

Susi, I am so thrilled and happy for you, My Dear!! What an awesome accomplishment!! You should be so super proud!! Glad it came at a time of year when it really helped cheer you up!! Holidays aren’t always cheery, sometimes they can be blue too. Karen has a tough time with not enough sunshine too (born and raised in Hawaii). So, Santa gave you a present early, how cool!! It is so wonderful to see your success, Susi!! It makes anxious to see your new strides for 2020!! So, you need to go out and really celebrate!!! Dreams do come true!!

Thank you, Chuck! Definitely came at the right time and yes, very proud. π I actually just got back from a bit of a celebration with a pal of mine. It’s good to clap outloud for these types of achievements! But what continues to keep me focused is all the readers. You all have been such a source of inspiration but also support. I thank you all! β€

Congrats, Susi, and thank you for sharing this. Being self-taught, I know very little about what’s out there that could possibly help make connections, networking etc.. Also, I completely understand. This time of year is generally rather rough for me to experience. Although…because of Megan and Gavin that seems to be changing drastically for the good. Your big, yellow, smiley face thing put one on my mug. Thank you for that.
